The Great Global Warming Swindle

You are correct. The red line (Antarctic temp) rise first, causing the CO2 to release (yellow dots) which then circulates around the world and then raises world temp (blue line.)
Proving that rising CO2 levels can both be the cause, and caused by, rising temperature.
To explain the chart.......
Dr Shakun's team has now constructed a narrative to explain both what was happening on Antarctica and what was happening globally:
This starts with a subtle change in the Earth's orbit around the Sun known as a Milankovitch "wobble", which increases the amount of light reaching northern latitudes and triggers the collapse of the hemisphere's great ice sheets
This in turn produces vast amounts of fresh water that enter the North Atlantic to upset ocean circulation
Heat at the equator that would normally be distributed northwards then backs up, raising temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere
This initiates further changes to atmospheric and ocean circulation, resulting in the Southern Ocean releasing CO2 from its waters
The rise in CO2 sets in train a global rise in temperature that pulls the whole Earth out of its glaciated state
Prof Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey was the chief scientist on the longest Antarctic ice core, which was drilled at Dome Concordia in 2001/2002. This core records eight ice ages, not just the most recent, stretching back some 800,000 years.
He was not involved in the Nature study. Prof Wolff told this week's Science In Action programme on the BBC World Service:
"It looks as though whatever kicked off this whole sequence of events to get out of the ice age was something really, in global terms, rather minor and regional, and yet it led to a sequence of events that led to a complete change in the way the surface of the Earth looked, with ice sheets disappearing.
"So, that just reminds us that although climate might seem quite steady to us because it's been relatively steady for the last few thousand years, it is actually capable of undergoing big changes. And as one famous palaeoclimatologist put it: 'we poke it at our peril'."

IOW: My SUV had nothing to do with it.
any real scientist with integrity would say... (see the words in parenthesis)

Well it's logical since CO2 is definitely a greenhouse and it definitely went up. Nothing else would have caused that much heat to be gained. The sun did not do it. The CO2 rise caused enough forcing to raise the temp. Without the CO2 fluctuations the temperature swings would not fluctuate nearly as much as it does.

That's good for you. You made it to the second sentence of a scientific article. Keep at it and one day you'll be able to read and comprehend the entire thing.
It's time to discuss the hundreds of millions that Al Gore made via his global warming hedge funds.
Generation Investment Management (GIM) was co-founded in 2004 by David Blood and Al Gore. Website - http://www.generationim.com/
Generation Global Equity Fund has $6 Billion in assets under management in early 2011 and is said to return more than 50% during the 12 months ending in March 2010.
http://www.insidermonkey.com/hedge-fund/generation+investment+management/146/
Filings indicate that for an non-operational role, Al Gore gets 0.5% of assets under management each year and 5% of the profits. This amounts $30 Million each year in asset under management fees and an average of $60 Million each year in performance fees over the life of the fund (it has had an average of a 19% return). Of course, these fees have built up over time as the fund grew after inception in 2004.
The fund was established in 2004 before he departed on his "Inconvenient Truth" film and tour in 2006 with the obvious intent of creating a scare that would drive money to the fund and it's carbon credit trading schemes. IMDb - Inconvenient Truth: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0497116/
In 2008, Al Gore invests $35 million with the Capricorn Investment Group. "Thatâs a big wad of cash for someone who reported barely $2 million in assets in 2000, when his job as vice president came to an end."

Al Goreâs Inconvenient Loot
http://riehlworldview.com/2007/03/al_gores_inconv.html
Al Gore has thrived as green-tech investor
http://articles.washingtonpost.com/...02345_1_clean-energy-clean-tech-firms-al-gore
"Just before leaving public office in 2001, Gore reported assets of less than $2 million; today, his wealth is estimated at $100 million." (Actually other news reports indicate his wealth in 2012 was over $250 Million before getting $100M more in his recent Current TV deal.)
You can make the case that Al Gore is a very savvy business person who has generated out-sized returns for investors and signficant wealth for himself. The reality is his fund can more properly be described as "Green Cronyism". Since 2008, most of the firms invested in by the fund had funding from the Obama administration. Of the 11 companies he mentioned in his 2008 slide show (e.g. Iberdrola Renovables), nine received or directly benefited from stimulus or clean energy funding.
The Obama administration also supported the carbon credit trading scheme that makes a significant amount of the fund's trading profits.
Bottom Line: Al Gore creates a hedge fund where he has no day-to-day operational role and then pushes the "Inconvenient Truth" to drive money for the fund. It is hard to made the case that Al Gore is driven by personal charity, true environmentalism (how about all those jet rides) or any type of real belief about 'global warming' --- it is all about making money... something he has been very successful at since leaving office.
